　Kanjo, located in Seki City, a region with a 700-year knife-making heritage, produces kitchen knives using a wide range of premium steels, including ZDP189, HAP40, SG2, White Steel, and Blue Steel. Notably, only a select few Japanese manufacturers offer knives crafted from ZDP189 and HAP40.

The blade profile features a 'Hamaguri-ba' shape, a Japanese term meaning 'clam shell edge.' This convex grind facilitates exceptionally smooth cutting and provides superior strength.

The edge is sharpened using the 'Honbatsuke' technique. 'Hon' translates to 'genuine,' 'ba' to 'edge,' and 'tsuke' to 'application' or 'formation.' In essence, 'Honbatsuke' signifies a meticulously sharpened edge designed for professional chefs. You will experience remarkable sharpness, a hallmark of authentic Japanese kitchen knives. Due to this intensive sharpening process, slight haziness or scratches may be present near the tip. This is an inherent characteristic of 'Honbatsuke' and not a defect.

Abaout Japanese Knife
　Japanese knives are crafted using a combination of traditional techniques and modern machinery. Due to this process, minor scratches may be present. Most Japanese knives feature thin blades designed for precision cutting. To prevent chipping or breakage, avoid twisting the blade and refrain from cutting frozen foods or bones.
